Chapter 746: You Can't Provide

Seeing that the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ and Yaochi Shèngzhǔ were determined to kill him, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ shouted angrily.

「What exactly has the Dao Yi Sect given you? My Qingtian Holy Land will give you double. 」

In his view, the Dao Yi Sect must have used some shady means to bribe the Yunluo Holy Land and the Yaochi Holy Land.

As it became increasingly difficult to fend off their attacks, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ could only try to offer the same stakes to get them to stop.

Merely hearing his words, the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ and Yaochi Shèngzhǔ showed not the slightest intention to stop.

The reason is simple: what the Dao Yi Sect can give, your Qingtian Holy Land cannot.

Leaving aside the demon emperor's ingredients, just a person like the Rice Ancestor Ye Zhangqing—does your Qingtian Holy Land have such a person?

Not to mention Qingtian Holy Land, the entire Haotu Shijie probably can't find a second one.

「You............ you really want to fight to the death? My Qingtian Holy Land will give three times. 」

「Give it up, you can't afford it. 」

The Yunluo Shèngzhǔ said lightly; hearing this, the Qingtian Shèngzhǔ's eyes almost burst.

I can't afford it? I, the Shèngzhǔ of the Three Holy Lands, damn it, I can't afford it?

However, the Yaochi Shèngzhǔ and Yunluo Shèngzhǔ clearly didn't want to get entangled in this matter; they ignored him and continued their fierce assault.

「Upper Sect, do we really not need to intervene? 」

Watching the fierce battle in the sky grow ever more brutal, many elders on the Qingtian Holy Land's side were already severely wounded, merely clinging to life, unable to hold on much longer.

Meanwhile, the Dao Yi Sect members had no intention of intervening from start to finish; a few Shèngjìng cultivators whispered.

「What's the point of intervening? 」

Someone volunteered, but what's the point of intervening? However, just thinking about the demon emperor's ingredients, Qi Xiong couldn't help but feel a pang of regret; this time they might really lose a lot to the two holy lands.

Time quickly reached noon; seeing that it was Fàn diǎn, noticing everyone's gazes, Ye Zhangqing rose and laughed.

「I'll go now. 」

「Haha, it's still Junior Brother Changqing who understands me. 」

「Junior Brother Changqing, take it slow; Shī xiōng isn't in a hurry. 」

「Not in a hurry? You're drooling. 」

Amidst the laughter and teasing, Ye Zhangqing came to the kitchen; moreover, with the help of the Spirit Chef Alliance's many spirit chefs, Ye Zhangqing would be much more relaxed.

Although their dishes could not compare to Ye Zhangqing's at all, they handled everything else in an orderly manner.

After all, I doubt there have ever been eighth- or ninth-rank spirit chefs in all of Zhongzhou dedicated just to chopping and washing vegetables.

Yet the spirit chefs had no complaints, and were even quite excited, as if helping Ye Zhangqing was the greatest honor in the world.

「Pay respects to the Rice Ancestor. 」

「Rice Ancestor, everything's ready; is there anything else you need? 」

All along the way, every spirit chef looked at Ye Zhangqing with admiring eyes, a reverence that came from the heart.

Of course, if they could change the title, Ye Zhangqing would surely be delighted.

「Don't let me find out who it is. 」

Gritting his teeth, he cursed silently; this person Ye Zhangqing had been searching for a long time, even having Bai Hua Xianzi and Jueying secretly investigate.

But even if the two women personally took action, up to now there's still not a single clue.

But damn it, the title 'Rice Ancestor' has now been firmly pinned on him, making Ye Zhangqing all the more determined to find the culprit.

Arriving at the stove, all sorts of side dishes, ingredients, and seasonings had already been neatly laid out.

Ye Zhangqing flicked his finger, and the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame instantly turned into a ball of fire that entered the stove.

Indeed, this strange fire is truly useful; because of the mind-heart connection, Ye Zhangqing only needs a thought to control the fire's size.

Whether it's a gentle or fierce fire, for stir-frying or slow simmering, he can control it extremely precisely—this is damn more convenient than the diesel stove of his previous life.

One pot after pot of fragrant dishes were quickly completed in Ye Zhangqing's hands.

If it weren't for the strange fire at hand and all those people helping, Ye Zhangqing definitely couldn't cook so many dishes for every meal.

As mealtime arrived, in the courtyard of the kitchen, one big tub after another had already been set up.

And the Dao Yi Sect, along with the many cultivators, had already come running upon smelling the aroma; for the matter of eating, there's no need to worry—no one would be late.

「Yo, today's feast is abundant—stir-fried true dragon meat, clear-simmered dragon big bones, and a braised ox hoof...... 」

Five or six dishes, each making people's index fingers twitch with appetite.

The Dao Yi Sect members wasted no time, grabbing bowls and digging in.

As for the people of Yaochi Holy Land and Yunluo Holy Land engaged in the fierce battle above, seeing that mealtime had arrived, they too became unsettled.

「Damn, it's mealtime—what do we do? 」

「I actually have a plan. 」

「Let's hear it. 」

「We'll take turns going to eat; half stay to hold them off, the other half go eat, then we'll rotate. 」

「Huh, this plan is not bad. 」

「Right, then I'll go first. 」

「Holy shit, why do you get to go first and I can't? 」

In an instant, half of the elders from the two holy lands who had been fighting the Qingtian Holy Land broke off the battle and rushed toward the kitchen below.

Seeing that, the remaining half were dazed, but they dared not leave now, for if things weren't settled, the demon emperor's feast would be gone.

「Hurry up, leave some for us. 」

「Go quickly and come back quickly. 」

「Leave me a bowl, and get some extra meat. 」

Each shouted loudly as if giving final instructions; as for the elders of the Qingtian Holy Land on the other side, even though they were already severely injured, at this moment they were all dazed.

What's going on? Why did they leave while fighting?

After years of campaigning, this was the first time they'd encountered such a thing, but they quickly came to their senses and realized this was a damn great opportunity.

Originally, facing the two great holy lands simultaneously made escape difficult for them, but now, with the Half-People having left, doesn't that give them a chance?

If they break out and escape now, their chance of success will definitely be much higher than before.

Thinking this, the elders of Qingtian Holy Land immediately employed Mìfǎ and began an all-out breakout.

With half the people gone, can you still stop us? In this situation, are you willing to employ Mìfǎ?

You must know, Qingtian Holy Land has been driven to desperation, while the two great holy lands hold the advantage; one side has burned their boats, naturally giving them the confidence to employ Mìfǎ, and they don't believe the two great holy lands also have such courage.

However, upon seeing the people of Qingtian Holy Land employ Mìfǎ, the remaining elders of the two great holy lands were initially taken aback, but quickly came to their senses.

"They want to break out."

"Stop them, don't let them get away."

"Whoever messes up the Demon Emperor's Grand Assembly, go explain it to the Shèngzhǔ yourself."

"Damn it, go all out."

"You think I have no Mìfǎ? It's just a matter of lifespan—come on, who's afraid of whom?"

In a moment, the elders of the two great holy lands also began employing Mìfǎ, their sole aim being to stop the people of Qingtian Holy Land and not give them the slightest chance to escape.
